Malcolm Mukorera

HI_

I’m an enthusiastic ICT graduate specializing in Application Development with over 1.5 years of hands-on experience building business applications from the ground up and supporting strategic development initiatives. I bring a strong full-stack foundation spanning web development, system integration, database-driven applications, and internal technical support with practical exposure to data migration, ERP implementation, and multi-language development across Linux (WSL/Ubuntu) environments. Beyond coding, I'm comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams, working within Microsoft 365 ecosystems, and contributing to solution design and brainstorming sessions. I hold CompTIA A+ and Cisco certifications and am actively pursuing AWS Cloud certification as I transition toward Cloud Engineering. I'm driven by a genuine passion for building scalable, well-architected systems and thriving in environments where innovation and problem-solving go hand in hand. Detail-oriented and proactive by nature, I combine structured software engineering principles with real-world business system experience to deliver solutions that actually work.

Work_

Malcolm&Co Coffee Shop

Responsive website built using HTML and CSS.

This project focused on layout structuring, responsive design, semantic HTML, and clean CSS. It was built as a personal learning project to strengthen frontend fundamentals. This was my first introduction to web development.

Easy On Ramp

Large-scale fintech platform focused on onboarding users into digital financial services.

Easy On Ramp was my first major production-level project and is still actively in progress. I worked primarily as the frontend developer, responsible for coding roughly 80% of the user interface and overall frontend logic.

I also contributed on the backend by assisting with API implementation, including integrating and testing APIs used to pull currency-related news and financial data.

This project was built as part of my work at 4levels Solutions and was the first large-scale system i worked on at the company. The platform was developed by a small team consisting of myself as the sole frontend developer, one backend developer, a graphic/web designer, and an external development team contracted by the client.

4levels Solutions Website

Corporate website maintenance, updates, and rebranding implementation.

I was responsible for maintaining and cleaning up the 4levels Solutions website, which was built using PHP and the CodeIgniter framework. My role focused on improving site structure, fixing layout issues, and ensuring the website remained stable and up to date.

I joined the project during a company rebranding phase, where we made updates to the website to reflect the new brand direction. This included adjusting layouts, refining content presentation, and aligning the site with updated visual and business requirements.

This work gave me hands-on experience maintaining a live production website and working within an existing codebase rather than building everything from scratch.

SAMDDRA

Membership and data-driven platform built for structured user onboarding and administration.

SAMDDRA is another large-scale project I worked on using the same core technology stack as Easy On Ramp. On this project, I worked as a second full-stack developer, assisting my coworker across both frontend and backend tasks.

My responsibilities included supporting frontend development, assisting with backend API work, and testing endpoints using tools such as Postman. This project helped me understand the importance of proper testing, clean and readable code, and validating backend logic before frontend integration.

I also gained practical experience with layout importing, code reusability, and inheritance, and how these concepts improve maintainability and scalability in real-world systems. The platform is still in active development.
